Feeding
the MuseAngelic has been inspired by a variety of different sources, a
variety of different media. You can find links to different sources of these.

You
can almost blame this whole affair on T.M. Revolution's album "triplejoker"
(Antinos Records),
the unofficial "soundtrack" of Angelic. Please, don't come
crying to me if Antinos' page is unreadable because you don't have japanese
fonts for your browser. (you can use a site like Shodoka Launchpad)

One
thing you won't find here are MP3's of any of the songs referenced.
Why? Because I'm not going to rip off someone's hard work. I certainly wouldn't
want that done to me. If you have WinAmp, and enjoy making your own MP3's
for your own use, you WILL find the official Angelic WinAmp
skins designed by Shana. She has a whole SLEW of droolworthy bishounen skins
at her site kodoku.org.
Go see!

BooksOk.
I admit it. I'm a shounen-ai junkie. (yes. stating the obvious...)
My softest spot is for, what else, shounen-ai cop stories. The greatest
of these, IMHO, include "FAKE", "NY2", and
my all time favorite, "K-Night". These manga are available
if you happen to have a Kino or Asahiya bookstore nearby. FAKE and NY2 are
also available through Aestheticism.com's
cybershoppe. You have to be a member to order, but they've got some great
stuff!

Angelic
also owes a debt to Sophy Birnham's "A Book Of Angels" (gomen
nasai, Birnham-san for screwing up your name in early version of the page!)
which provided a wealth of fascinating information; "The Idiot's Guide
to Angels" (I kid you not), and to the film noir
ouvure "Dark City", which I got from my local library and is now
hideously overdue.(okok.. it's been returned, it's been returned!
my felonious book hoarding days are past!!)

MusicAngelic
is as much a project of sound as it is sight, and like I said, was mostly
inspired by "triplejoker". God, I love this cd. I
happened to purchase mine at, where else, Kino... but you can probably find
it at Asahiya Books, or any other major japanese bookstore in your area (if
you're so inclined. It really is a very good cd!)

In
the event you might be interested in some of the other tracks that have been
shaping this project:

TMR (but of
course! This time it's the "Force" album): every single damn track
except for that godawful "Salsa Bizarre"<--there are no words
to describe this song. it's better that way. trust me. Takanori-san.. I adore
you.. but.... o.o;;;;

VideoOne
of the most profound visual impacts had to have come from Earthian.
For a brief description of this amazing (albeit often confusing)
anime (based on an equally wonderful manga), check out
Media Blasters.
(They also carry the FAKE ova! YATTA! ^.~ v)

Harbour
City's "feel" for me came from repeated viewings of the Batman movies
(at least the first two) and that freakish, twilight-zoney
movie "Dark City".. which has nothing to do with the aforementioned
book "Dark City" no matter what my husband might try and tell you.
^.~

OTHERlinksThe net is alive
with stuff on angels and mysticism.. moreso than you might think. Ever wonder
what the haitian vodoo goddess correspondence for kabbalstic sephira # 7 (netzach)
was? I did, and I found the answer at the
Clickable Tree of Life. Interactive! Yatta! For angelic info
of a hugely diverse nature, you simply cannot beat Sarah's
Archangels. Her wonderful site contains an incredible wealth of information.

There's
a world of Net Manga and comics out there! Go check out some of the other
offerings there! Two very cute shounen-ai manga that can be found on
the web are Val
& Laren and Tei
and Rikki.. go see!

And
no links about yaoi/shounen-ai manga on the web would be complete without
umbrella
studios/passionate kiss... they are some incredibly talented, extremely
nice people. GO THERE NOW. ^.^ vBEGIN PLUG:
You can purchase through Umbrella Studios "Anthology 06" which contains
"Angelic:Fallen", a special, print-only backstory piece! Go! Go!!
(I have work featured in "Winged Things 1" and "Weiss Schockolade"
as well.) END PLUG.

I
strongly urge everyone to go visit Valhalla
(Ruaki-chan's page) and ConnectionLost.com
(Tanzy's page). They've given me just wonderful support for Angelic from
the get go, I want to return the favor!

If
you dig Angelic, and want to link back here, here are some new banners!
Please, just copy the banner onto your own site. don't link to the one here
^^;; While you don't need to ask me if it's ok to link here, please only link
to the opening page (http://joasakura.tripod.com).
I'd also love to know who IS linking here, if only to reciprocate!
